Gluing it down is the problem. The abalone sheet edges sit rounded onto the plate. for a smooth, corner feel. Mine can be done but with a really strong adhesive and a bench press or vices or the like. I'm too impatient to try it and hubby would probably break it. (Think Herman Munster...lol)
Sounds like you have the same problem with yours?

Let's move this discussion to a convo. I'd like to keep the thread open just in case someone comes up with abalone panels.
